A badly programmed Kalman filter perhaps

They could've blocked just the comments, allowing at least read-only access to the site, instead of blocking it off entirely


So could everyone that blocks network traffic for various reasons, but usually they don't because they're not doing it in the primary application layer, but using a WAF or reverse proxy or something else in front of their application... and also most DGAF to cater specifically to the users they block.

Again, you're usually lucky to even get a return packet.


If you run emulated Windows 98 in the browser with e.g. v86, it is faster to open the start menu on the emulated Windows 98 than on the real Windows 11 running it. Windows user experience really went downhill after 7.


The entire text reads like multiple AI-produced excerpts glued together


In that case you issue a recall, which is the correct way of dealing with potentially fatal manufacturing defects.


Which will be costly. Also, it does not guarantee the user will return your car, right?


It should be costly. You want to encourage companies to make better/safer products that have been well tested. The whole “Move quick and break things” is from the perspective of a completely nonessential social media service. They have no consequences when they break things, although even that has changed as every minute of downtime is lost revenue. Self inflicted financial pain is completely acceptable, if they choose to take that path. Car companies should not.


Yeah, but the user will be liable for not returning the vehicle under a recall.

As for cost, surely you can ask Ford's lawyers who worked there in the 70s to give you a good calculation on life vs recall costs.


Just issuing a recall is not enough. There are countless reasons why someone does not return the product: They maybe simple not know, and there is no way to reach them.

That is why Samsung push update to disable note 7 even after recalling them.

In Germany we let the Kraftfahrtbundesamt handle this. You are required by law to keep your address updated with the authorities, and all vehicles have to be registered to get a license plate. When a recall for safety reasons happens, the Kraftfahrtbundesamt writes a notification letter, and if you do not respond in time with evidence of having the recall issue remediated by a qualified shop (or doing it yourself and getting a sign-off from a licensed inspector), eventually they write to your local DMV office that can ban your vehicle from the roads, and if you miss that the police shows up at your home and physically removes the license sticker from the table.

And heaven forbid you get actually caught driving the car after having gotten the notification letter from your local DMV. That's automatically felony territory. Our authorities really, really do not mess around.

As American, I assume most the thread above was assuming US locale and it Seems like a solid case of the all too common “impossible by US status quo standards” when in fact the solution can be quite simple we just lack the imagination or willingness to see what worths elsewhere


I think users wouldn't be so resistant to security updates of they were just that and not bundled with feature removal, unwanted new features, and other things.

Or if they were properly done. Example: Intel and the plundervolt vulnerability. To fix that they removed the ability for undervolting in ny laptop. If I don't use SGX there's no reason for the block. They could've restricted undervolting only when SGX is enabled but no, they had to "fix" it in the worst way possible.


Maybe just re-tuning the timing, if he's using high performance sticks. Because parts are hard to get by where I live, I usually stick 10+ years with a PC. With usage I found that I have to relax the timings a bit after some years.


Encrypted Client Hello and DNS over HTTPS.


Drop all ECH TLS connections, as China does.


My experience with academia is that most of this hard work is done by undergrads, and conception and management by professors; developers aren't hired to do this. So besides "going back to school", there's no way in for an outsider.


Except that driving at a speed significantly different from the surrounding traffic increases the risk of a crash.


Speeding is one of the leading causes of fatal accidents.

Tailgating is one of the leading causes of non-fatal accidents.

Sounds like it's safer for me to let people tailgate me at the speed limit.


Many of the people killed by speeding are not, themselves, speeding.


I’m not sure that is the case. Bunching together look like a higher risk to me.


Bunching together happens because of irregular speed. You have traffic clusters because the front is slower than whatever the "natural" speed is, but not so slow that people elect to pass.

If traffic is all moving in a narrow range of speed the clusters are smaller and less dense.


So does speeding.
